Interests Aren’t Everything
Current debates around US immigration policy are playing out against a backdrop that has changed significantly in the past 20 years: immigrants have increasingly gravitated towards “new destinations”; a large and growing portion of immigrants are undocumented; and the federal vacuum in responding to the promise and problems of these new immigration trends has devolved policy to the states. As a result, we have seen innovation on the state level a…
The Indigenous Movement in Ecuador
The indigenous movement in Ecuador has been among the most successful new social movements in Latin America since the late 1980s. Its success may be attributed to its formulation and persistent advocacy of an alternative to the changing manifestations of the capitalist order-the "plurinational state." This position has organized and motivated the movement for the past 20 years, in the course of which it has gained access to the center of economic…
Is It Possible to De-Dollarize
The policy reform termed dollarization, adoption of a foreign currency as the domestic currency, is widely believed to be irreversible. The paper presents counter examples, while noting that the Latin American hard pegs present problems that are more complex. It then uses Ecuador, the longest-lasting of the recent dollarizers, to examine all aspects of the possibility and process of de-dollarizing. Presentation of economic performance before and …

Latin America and the Dollar Bloc in the Twenty-first Century
The choice of exchange rate regime is a continuing challenge to Latin American policymakers, who currently face pressure to dollarize their economies. The constraints imposed by the "dollar bloc," the informal but powerful currency bloc that ties Latin America to the dominant currency, are central to that choice. Current weak economic performance has called the bloc's norms and principles into question and has made the exchange rate an open issue…

Dollar Bloc Dependency in Latin America
The international financial regime is undergoing a significant transition as the Bretton Woods regime weakens and new norms and principles emerge. One change is the emergence of "currency blocs" which serve to stabilize regional financial relations. This paper argues that Latin America and the U.S. are linked in an emerging dollar bloc that has created a new form of Latin American dependency. The centrality of the dollar in the financial structur…

Latin American structuralism
Latin American structuralism has played a central role in the debates on economic development theory and policy since the 1950s.The career of Raúl Prebisch has mirrored the trajectory of structuralism and can provide it an historical context. After noting the importance of structuralism, the article isolates its main tenets. It then places Latin American structuralism within the methodological tradition of structuralism which includes writers suc…
Economics
A critical examination of ‘the patterns of development’
The decline in the share of agriculture and increase in secondary production's share have generally been found to accompany changes in per capita income. Cross‐section data have long exhibited such a ‘pattern of development’. Recent panel information combining cross‐section and time‐series data seemed to extend the behaviour to time series. Using analysis of co‐variance tests for such patterns over time, the paper rejects the assumption of homoge…
